I just find this an interesting comment. Having an electrical engineers education, there is this interesting repetition of formula which is unmistakable. First you learn the physical equations, mostly applied to sound interestingly. Then at

Fellow excited. Sol has been revolutionary for me. It’s been the first time I’ve let a model “go ham” on a production code base and it actually worked, and also didn’t bankrupt my company in the process. I’m far more excited for the traject

Tahoe has destroyed macOS performance. I’m running a maxed out last gen intel and was getting stuttering and slide showing straight out of the update. It was completely unusable until I turned on reduced transparency. Colleagues on much bet

Look to Australia if you want to see how these energy policies work out in the long run. Energy is big money. Anything that disrupts the status quo is immediately vilified. It got to the point that our major party at the time lead a “gas fi

Strange statement to say in an article specifically about water, of which both the Kelvin and Celsius derive their scale.

People conflate the ideas of happiness, and comfort. Money buys access to increasing levels of comfort, but comfort becomes normalized very quickly. Once you've become accustomed to a certain level of comfort, the luxury of it wears of

You've made me do even more digging and now I'm even more confused. ATMega328P, data sheet specifically calls out using that it cannot represent full range, ADC = VIN * 1024 / VREF. The STM32F4 datasheet shows an idealised tr

This was a genuinely thought provoking article. I had to challenge some personal assumptions. Coming from an electrical engineering background, I disagree with how the author presented "Two types of quantizers". Mathematically rig

That’s the mental model that works for people, specifically those that come from VM workflow. Ironically that’s how Docker works on every platform where it’s running a non-native OS. On macOS that’s how all images are run. Linux on Linux is

I have a wonderful book that explores this idea of an atlas of flavours that work together. The flavor bible. I can assure you that it does not contain 1800 ingredients in all of there combinations, but it does a remarkable job of covering

I find it weird today that we are still fascinated by video wall papers. This was literally my first hack I did in high school in 2005. Doing something I’d never seen done before, a video wallpaper. Step one, grab a handle to the video memo

Tailwind isn't just a framework; it's a design system. The creators of Tailwind wrote the brilliant book "Refactoring UI" [0], which presents a systematic design system, introducing ideas such a type-scales, color-scales

I think you miss understood the challenge. They are using a 60Msps ADC with a parallel port interface. The challenge is capturing the 600Mbit/s of data and having enough CPU and memory bandwidth to do anything useful with it. If your m

I love your reverse psychology analogy. That does make me wonder, if a cap past its SRF is an inductor, and and inductor past its SRF is a cap, why not swap caps for inductors and vice versa, put an amplifier on the end and call it a day!

Loop inductance is what really matters with decoupling. Once you understand that, it becomes really easy to make good decisions. This article explains how you can approximate the inductance for a given layout, so it makes evaluating layouts

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. It’s very frustrating that the tried and true method of sampling comparators has become prohibitively expensive due to niche parts. I suspected that the ST HRTIMER would be a good candidate for replacin

Did you miss the point of the article? JPEG-XL encoding doesn't rely on quantisation to achieve its performance goals. Its a bit like how GPU shaders use floating point arithmetic internally but output quantised values for the bit dept

I think you have a misunderstanding about the Ethernet standard they are discussing. This isn’t copper Ethernet, its fibre Ethernet standard. Copper Ethernet caps out at 25Gb/s with an impractically short 10 meter cable run.

Absolutely. Software encoders are constantly pushing the envelope in terms of quality, and they have tuneable knobs to allow you to pick the speed vs quality trade off. Hardware encoders are much more restrictive. They will target a maximum
